The crew was efficient and the completed job was fantastic to see completed.
Also after the TPO was mechanically fastened the seams were robotically welded insuring longer life.
This job was warranted for 10 years workmanship and 20 years for a manufacturers product warranty.
Also Jeff took photos during the work in progress so I could see the work from another location.
Tear off and clean up was completely done and the debris removed from the site. Everything removed from the roof-vents ducts, etc was replaced after the TPO was installed.
I was impressed by everything that was accomplished by this crew and this company during this job.
I would gladly use the AAA Roofing Company again based on my experience with them and their performance on this job.
The estimator Bill, is very professional, and came out several times to discuss the process and measure two different levels of the roof and worked up several different estimates for tar/tpo, and whether we did each section, or the whole thing. Very thorough.
The installation of the TPO seems to be waterproof, which I guess is the most important thing.
Any issues I have are with the crew and during this remodel I'm noticing with all contractors that there's a huge disconnect between the and quot;company representativeand quot;, and the work crew. When there's no one with a vested interest in the company on the job site, it's kind of a crap shoot as to how the work is done, and the attention to detail.
Now my wife went up on the roof after, and said, and quot;ooooh white and clean!and quot;, and I'm starting to think that has something to do with the majority of straight A reviews for companies. I'm different.
This is what I saw:
1. The crew dragged hundreds of pounds of gravel and old roof right across the top of the existing and quot;goodand quot; roof that wasn't getting replaced. They made many trips this way, and it didn't sound too good from inside, and I can't imaging that's really good on a roof.
2. The roof section above looks like a trash confetti gun was blasted all over the roof. They picked up the big stuff, but come on.
3. The dragging mentioned above really did a number on the gravel up there and it's a mess. When they started it was a nice even coat of gravel, and now it's.....not. A quick run over it with a broom to level it out would have only taken a few minutes at most.
4.They said they could build up the low spots, which they did, and they built in channels under the tpo to guide the water to the canales which looked amazing. In reality after the first rain, it is built up so much over those low spots that now (confirmed with a level) the roof on the other side is at best, flat, and at worst, pitches away from the canales in some areas, and now pools slightly in the opposite corner. It's also pooling up against the base of my skylight curb.
If the water doesn't pool for more than a few days (from what I was told) all is good and is still warrantied, so, I guess it's fine.
5. Those channels I mentioned in the foam under the tpo....in reality again, one is blocked (high spots) from letting water through one canale, and is funneling most of the water through the second, and only other, one on a different wall. Wouldn't be totally bad, but I had mentioned that I hoped they could get more water going off the blocked one. Reason being, when it rains and the one that's open the most has a waterfall coming off it, the water pools on the ground there and has made it's way into the house and soaked the carpet. I'll have to dig a channel for that water since it's almost all coming off that canale now which isn't a huge deal, but now a river of water is going to carve a canyon through the front yard, and I'd rather they just taken some time and maybe used a level and the other canale could take some of that load and we would have been able to use a rain barrel there.
6. The swamp cooler: They took it off in a matter of seconds seemed like, set it down on the good section of roof, and broke a support leg off in the process. Now they did replace the whole cooler roof jack (ducting) coming out of the roof that I had bought ahead of time, and after they left, I stuck an endoscope down in the duct and they actually did a decent job of meshing the new ducting with the old coming out of the house. The attachment of the cooler later on to that new roof jack is another story. They came and got me and showed me that is was all level and there was a slight air gap between the cooler and new ducting (roof jack) on two sides....I said ok I'll take care of the gap later, and went back down. After they left I went up and couldn't help but laugh, and shake my head at the same time. The cooler looked like a drunk that just came out of the bar. One corner was inches lower than it's opposite and the whole thing was hunched over and looked like it wanted to lay down, and there was random globs of caulk vomited all over the base where it attaches to the ducting. And that equal gap they showed me on both sides was now one huge gap and then no gap on the other side. And the support legs of the cooler were just sitting (with an added piece of tpo) on the tpo roof. When you walk around up there or kneel down on that stuff the foam underneath and quot;givesand quot;, so sitting those support legs right on the foam didn't seem like a good way to distribute that weight.
The fix: I cribbed it up and leveled it with wood, took off all the legs and readjusted it. Cut blocks of wood (pressure treated endgrain) for the feet of the legs to sit on with that extra piece of tpo between the wood and roof membrane to distribute the weight across more of that foam underlayment. Then removed most of their caulking nightmare, and now that the cooler was level I recaulked the (now mated correctly) joint between the cooler and ducting, and closed the now equal gaps on either side.
I've never done that, and it only took 20 mins at the most by myself, and now it's solid, level, and just looks clean.
In conclusion: I am in no way suggesting you don't chose this company. These are just my personal experiences being someone that has attention to detail, and I expect that when I spend my hard earned money, the company I choose has that same attention to detail. I am finding however that it is a VERY difficult thing to find. I would gladly pay thousands more for craftsmen to do the work, but where in the world can I find them.
If you see more than , and quot;oooooh white and cleanand quot; when you look at a roof, then maybe this review will give you some things to talk about with your roofing estimator. If you only step outside your front door after the work is done and don't know what you're looking at, you'll be super happy cause it will be waterproof.
